Busted acoustasonic strat
Anyone got any good tips for regluing a brace in an acoustasonic strat? I can get in there with a magnet and little violin clamp, but can’t get effective pressure all the way down with those. Does someone make small scissor jacks? The gap between the top and back is 1.25 inches, so I can’t fit even our cut-down normal one.
I’d like something a little more elegant than wedging short sticks between the brace and back, but will use them if I can’t come up with something better.

Hi Doug,
You could fabricate a small rectangle out of wood, something just shy of the 1.25″ you’re after and cut it on the diagonal then use it as a wedge. Use a clamp on the outside areas to ensure you’re not just pushing out the top/back…

Thanks Doc. I did a variation on that. The block matches the slope of the brace, and I just pulled it forward and clamped. Needed a stron magnet for the tip, but it worked.

Here it is clamped up.
